MEET ISOLA

my nonna’s name was isola, a wonderful cook who gave me a passion for food and fresh, simple ingredients.  

I have vivid memories of my grandmother turning plain bread into amazing desserts, simple apples into incredible fritters sprinkled with a little sugar and honey, and even treating my sunburns with olive oil. Thirty years later, I still savor every meal and moment.

Isola is proud to serve the finest local ingredients, dalla vite, from the vine. I hope you enjoy every bite, plucked from my family tree for your table. Buon appetito! Try our Valentine's Menu!
